Injury.
Frank Miles was in town from the Biz
Hole yesterday, and from him the ollowine
particulars of the accident to Judge Gal.
braith were learned:
On Friday last, the Judge and Miles,
and two guides with two saddle and three
pack horses, making seven in the outfit,
started for the elk country, on Wise River,
at the head OF Bryant and Alder Creeks.
and arrived there on Sunday afternoon.
Monday and Tuesday we're spent in hunt
ing. They endeavored to locate where the
elk were ranging, but had no success in the
face OF the fact that some hunters had been
there just before and had driven the game
out. On Wednesday morning they con.
cluded to pack up and move about
twenty miles to what ia known as Wise
River Park, t~hirty-two miles to store. The
judge rode a blooded horse belonging "a the
B. H. l.. Co. to where they made their first
camp, and the horse Miles rode was one he
has had seven years, and never knew him

to attend to some business for the COM
pany, arranging to again join the party on
Sunday. He took with him the blooded
horse, as he was q better traveller, leaving
the judges horse, which is more used to
mountain trails. No sooner had they
packed up aud got started than the horse
the judge rode. in an endeavor to cross a
small creek. slipped his saddle in getting
out OF the creek. and when he
landed on the bank the hind
cinch caught the horse too far back and
set him to bucking. The Judge having his
rife with it's magazine full OF cartridges
hanging to the horn of the saddle, tried to
free himself by jumping from the horse, but
the munitions OF war were in his way and
could not we'll manage the jump; and
being a heavy man, weighing 213 pounds,
it was rather difficult. When he did man.

A very shameful exhibition of religious
intolerance is said to have been displayed
in Philadelphia for more than q week past.
On the 18th inst, at the Constitutional
Centennial services IL Independence Square,
Cardinal Gibbons, in compliance with the
invitation OF the Centennial Commission
ers, offered the closing prayer at the con-
clusion of the exercises. This, q dispatch
from there states, has aroused, on the part
Of the Presbyterians OF hat city, what is
characterized as "a very bitter Il cling"
and the Presbyterian Journal, which is
credited With voiciDg the sentiments Of
that body OF Christians. e nj aims the re.
markable assertion that "Mr. Kasson and
other Protestants who we're on tine Com.
mission had no right to sell out and humil.
late this Protestant city and Protestant
nation" in the manner specified. Bisotry
never went to further lengths than this.
TIT Commissioners as Mr.. Kasson stated
in II interview at his home in Iowa, avoid.
ed every semblance uf craftsmanship,
either religious or political. in their
arrangements on the occasion, aud they

States" To have omitted doing 80 would
have been casting a slight upon that very
large and influential body OF citizens who
confess allegiance to that Church, and
would have merited blame and probably
received it from ell fairminded men. It is |
news, indeed. to learn that this is q
Protestant nation. The very essence OF the
law is that no distinction can |
be claimed nor shall any discrimination be
made in this country on account Of creed.
The State recognizes neither Protestant'nor
Catholic religion. All are equal before the
law. Every man is allowed to work out !

laws OF the country, as. for instance, the
Mormons do. Such bigotry as

Of the Protestants Of the country, and in
it they merely lay themselves
open to the contempt and ridicule Of all
people. The Presbyterjans OF this

A curious philosophy is being de-
veloped by religious thinkers in respect
to the law of nature. They hold that
this law is "destructiveness;" that it is
in fact the condition of things. The
spider eats the fly, the sparrow eats the
spider, the hawk eats the sparrow, and
man eats everything, and it may be
added that time or death eats man.
That destruction is the law of nature
may be true in the sense that the world
and all that is in it are constantly
changing. Theproblcm of the mystery
of the cruelty of things opens wide
field for theological discussion and a
great many singular doctrines may be
drawn from it.-Sdn Francisco Err
dnliner.

Electric Headlights.

Experiments looking to the adoption
of electric headlights for locomotives
have already been the cause of one
smash-up; the presence of the dynamo
machine on the engine having had the
effect of demoralizing the timepieces of
both engineer and engine. Another
thing against the adoption of the cleo
tric light on trains is that it will make
engineers nervous. No amount of
argument could convince an engineer
that an electric light in front of his en-
gine would prove anything but a
menace to his train in a thunderstorm.

The city of Nankin, once the capital
of China, has for centuries been famous
to the "barbarians'' of the outer world
for its porcelain tower--a relic of the
splendor of its ancient days, before
Pekin usurped its dignity as the seat Of
the empire. The place is now, to
great extent, city of ruins; and the
city proper has shrunk to one-foulth OF
its former dimensions. The porcelain
tower was built quite early in the fif-
teenth century by order of the Emper-
or Yuhgloh, and as work of filial
piety.
1t was monument to the memory OF
his mother, and he determined that its
beauty should as far outshine that of
any similar memorial as the transcend-
ent virtues of the parent, in her sons
eye, surpassed those of the rest of her
sex. The estimated cost is more than
three-quarters of million Of our
money. The work was commenced 1T
noon on a certain day in 1413, and oes
cupied nearly twenty years hts com
pletion. The total height OF the pors
celain tower is more than two hundrNA
feet, and it was faced from top to lof
tom with the finest porcelain, glaxl
and colored. 1t consisted of fo{r
stories, surmounted by spire, nfhe
top of which was a ball OF brass, richly
gilded.
From this ball eight iron chains ex-
tend to as many projecting points Of
the roof, and from each chaitl was
suspended bell, which hung over the
tower. The same arrangement was
carried out in everv story. These
bells added very much to the graceful
appearance of the tower, breaking its
otherwise formal and monotonous out
lines.
Around the outer face of each story
were several apcrtures for lanterns,
and when these were Illuminated, we
are told in the magniloquent language
of the Chinese historian. their light
illuminated the entire heavens, moving
the hearts of men and entirely remoy-
ing human misery" 1t is not difficult
to imagine, however, that the appear
ance of the tower on such occasions
must have been beautiful in the ex-
treme.
On the top of the tower were placed
two large brazen vessels, and bowl,
which together contained various costly
articles in the nature of an Offering
and charm to avert evil influences.
Among these were several pearls of
various colors, each supposed to pos
sess miraculous properties, together
with other precious stones and guam
tity of gold and silver. In this con-
nection. designed to represent the best
treasures of the state, were also placed
box of tea. some pieces of silk. and
copies of some ancient Chinese writ
ings. The tower was demolished in
